Eaton Centre

The Toronto Eaton Centre is a large shopping mall and office complex in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, named after the now-defunct Eaton's department store chain that once anchored it. In terms of the number of visitors, the shopping mall is Toronto's top tourist attraction, with around one million visitors per week. It is also the largest shopping mall in Eastern Canada and third-largest in Canada as a whole.

The Eaton Centre is bounded by Yonge Street on the east, Queen Street West on the south, Dundas Street West on the north, and to the west by James Street and Trinity Square. Its interior passages also form part of Toronto's PATH underground pedestrian network, and the centre is served by two TTC stations: Dundas and Queen.

Additionally, the Eaton Centre is linked to a 17-storey Marriott hotel, and to Canada's largest store, the flagship location of The Bay department store chain.

Hockey Hall of Fame

The Hockey Hall of Fame (Temple de la renommée du hockey in French) is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Dedicated to the history of ice hockey, it is both a museum and a hall of fame. It holds exhibits about players, teams, National Hockey League (NHL) records, memorabilia and NHL trophies, including the Stanley Cup. Originally in Kingston, Ontario, the Hockey Hall of Fame was first established in 1943 under the leadership of James T. Sutherland. The first class of honoured members was inducted in 1945, before the Hall of Fame had a permanent location. It moved to Toronto in 1958 after the NHL withdrew its support for the Kingston location. Its first permanent building opened at Exhibition Place in 1961. In the '90s, the Hall began outgrowing its location and was relocated to a former Bank of Montreal building in downtown Toronto in 1993, where it is presently located.

An 18-person committee of players, coaches and others meets annually in June to select new honourees, who are inducted as players, builders or on-ice officials. The builders' category includes coaches, general managers, commentators, team owners and others who have helped build the game. Honoured members are inducted into the Hall of Fame in an annual ceremony held at the Hall of Fame building in November, which is followed by a special "Hockey Hall of Fame Game" between the Toronto Maple Leafs and a visiting team. As of 2008, 240 players, 97 builders and 15 on-ice officials have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame has been criticized for focusing mainly on players from the National Hockey League and largely ignoring players from other North American and international leagues.

Toronto Centre for the Arts

The Toronto Centre for the Arts, previously known as the "Ford Centre for the Performing Arts", opened in 1993 as the "North York Performing Arts Centre" and is designed by Canadian architect Eberhard Zeidler for musicals, theatre productions, and other performing arts. It houses three theatres: the Main Stage Theatre, with 1,727 seats, the George Weston Recital Hall, with 1036 seats, a multi-purpose 200-seat studio theatre.

Toronto Life Square

It is named after Toronto Life magazine.

Toronto Reference Library

The Toronto Reference Library (previously the Metropolitan Toronto Reference Library) is a six storey facility in Toronto, Ontario, opened in 1977 and is the biggest public reference library in Canada. The library was designed by architect Raymond Moriyama and is part of the Toronto Public Library system, but its collection is mostly non-circulating.

Now part of the larger Toronto Public Library system, prior to 1998, it operated separately. It is one of three large libraries in the city, which includes the Robarts Library at the University of Toronto and Scott Library at York University.

Toronto Star

The Toronto Star is Canada's highest-circulation newspaper, though its print edition is distributed almost entirely within the province of Ontario. It is owned by Toronto Star Newspapers Ltd., a division of Star Media Group, a subsidiary of Torstar Corporation.

Yonge-Dundas Square

Yonge-Dundas Square is a public square in Toronto at the intersection of Yonge Street and Dundas Street, one of the busiest intersections in Toronto. Constructed as a downtown 'revitalization' project, the square was created from the demolition of a block of commercial buildings and opened as a public square to the public in November 2002. A "grand opening" concert was held on May 30, 2003. The square is used for music concerts, film screenings and other public events. The square has been controversial for its design, its private board of management of a publicly-owned site and the overwhelming amount of commercial signage on the square.
